This comprehensive course package meets the full training requirements of the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General for both the Security Guard License and the Private Investigator License. Upon successful completion, students will be eligible to write both provincial exams and apply for a dual license—greatly expanding career opportunities in the private security and investigative services industry.
What is a Dual License?
A dual license allows you to legally work in both security guard and private investigator roles in Ontario. With only one license, your job options are limited to a single field. With a dual license, you double your opportunities—increasing your employability, flexibility, and income potential in the growing private security industry.
Why take this course?
Our Dual License Training Course gives you the complete curriculum for both roles, along with integrated training that shows how the skills of one role enhance the other. You’ll not only meet Ministry requirements—you’ll stand out to employers as a candidate who’s versatile, well-trained, and ready for complex, real-world challenges.
Many employers today prefer or require dual-licensed candidates. Whether you plan to work in security, investigations, or a mix of both, this course prepares you to start strong and grow your career with confidence.
What You’ll Learn
This dual course package includes the full curriculum from both the Security Guard and Private Investigator courses, with all Ministry-required material delivered through convenient online learning.
Why a Dual License is Valuable
Enhanced Employability: Work in either or both industries
- Versatile Skill Set: Combine investigative thinking with real-world safety and security strategies
- Career Growth: Preferred by agencies, event security, loss prevention teams, and more
- More Job Opportunities: In retail, insurance, corporate investigations, nightlife, patrol, and more
Even if you only plan to work in one field, knowledge from the other adds depth and flexibility to your training. For example, private investigators benefit from self-defence and legal force training, while security guards with investigative skills can better assess risk and identify threats.
